Found this cookie extremely popular to be used shape cute animals cookies. It's definately easier to handle then most of the cookie doughs we've manage before. However, we're unable to find out why is it call German Cookies! Do enlighten us if you have some history behind this cookie.

250g Butter
80g Icing Sugar
250g Potato Starch Flour
180g Top Flour or Cake Flour

Step By Step
1. Cream Butter and Icing Sugar until light in color.
2. Add in Vanilla Essence and mix till incorporated.
2. Sift in the All Purpose Flour, Potato Starch Flour and fold till well combine.
3. Preheat the oven to Fan mode 160°C or Top Bottom mode 170°C.
6. Shape the dough as desired. Place on the baking sheet, leaving 0.5" apart.
7. Place in the oven to bake for 25mins.
8. Cool completely before serving.

Some Extra Tips Below:
- Recommended to mix the dough and let it chill overnight in the fridge so the dough cam be more manageable and the flavor will develop.
- You can store the mixed cookie dough (well wrapped) in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 day or it can last up to 2 months in the freezer.
- Remember space it 1" apart to let the cookie have space to expand and brown evenly.
- To allow the flavor and fragrance to develop further, store cookies in an airtight container overnight before serving.
- Store cookies in an air-tight container with a piece of bread or a slice of apple to retain the softness as the cookie will absorb the moisture from the bread or apple to stay soft longer.
